--- Comment #18 from Cor Nouws <cno@nouenoff.nl> ---
(In reply to Regina Henschel from comment #17)
I suggest:
Keep the current "Header and Footer" dialog, but perhaps name it "Manage
Field Areas" and put it into the Slide menu or Format menu.
Remove the "Master Elements" dialog and make the check boxes in the current
"Header and Footer" dialog work the same as in the current "Master Elements"
dialog.
Disable options in the "Header and Footer" dialog in Normal view, in case
that Area is hidden by the Master.
The idea of combining both in one dialog sounds attractive. But it implies that
is has two functions, what (partially) depends on the position where you would
open the dialog: if you want to hide master elements for a master page, you
have to open the dialog on a slide with that master page; if you want to insert
text etc. in the master elements, you must open it on a different slide. This
is not self explaining.. Could be circumvented by adding a list view to the
dialog, showing all the applied master pages, so that in one run, all master
pages can be handled. (Analogue to list view in e.g. Tools>Outline Numbering)
But a problem you'll have with a dialog in that form, is that it may suggest
that one can add different footer text to different master page slides. And
that is not the case. So therefore more changes on a combined dialog are
needed.
Users might want a "Slide Number" item in the Insert menu. That should not
open the "Header and Footer"-dialog, but insert a slide number same as via
Insert > Field. That would be similar to the "Insert > Page Number" item in
Writer.
Activating the slide number in the current dialog, puts the field in the master
page element(s). And you can check to omit the fist slide. This is quite
different from putting a page number field om the cursors position, so why not
simply ..:
It might be useful to have an additional item "Show Slide Number Area", so
that the user need not find this setting in a dialog, which has not "slide
number" in its name.
what is what one does in the current dialog.
